New research has uncovered a relationship between the brain inflammation and motor problems associated with Parkinson’s Disease, and the balance of intestinal microbes in the gut microbiome. The microbes appear...

For decades, scientists have been tracking an alarming trend: the ability of bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics. Simply put, the few bacteria to survive an onslaught of antibiotics are the strong ones,...

A new brain implant, described by research in Saturday’s edition of The New England Journal of Medicine, allows a late-stage patient with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, to communicate using brain signals to type...

A recent paper published in the journal Trends in Neuroscience calls attention to the new concept of “psychobiotics”, in which changes in gut microbes have an effect on mental health. One author of the study...

Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology have successfully allowed paralyzed monkeys to walk again with the use of a brain implant. It is the first time scientists have been able to restore walk...

Trials have shown that a new Alzheimer’s drug successfully targets one of the main signs of the disease in the brain, by halting the production of toxic amyloid proteins that cause the plaques found in the brai...

In a paper published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, Dr. Joseph Wang and other researchers from the nanoengineering lab at the University of California, San Diego, show how ink that includes magnetic...

A global clinical trial on male hormonal contraceptive shots has proven effective for 96 percent of patients. By the end of the trial, 75 percent of men said they would be willing to continue receiving the shot...

In a recent breakthrough, researchers have managed to grow eggs in a lab dish using skin cells from mice. Some of these eggs even produced six healthy mice. The research was published on October 17th in the jo...

Scientists in the US have restored a sense of touch to a paralyzed man using a mind-controlled robotic arm. While the same team of scientists had created a mind-controlled prosthetic arm before, the addition of...
